Score 78/100 · Robert Parker, Feb 2009
This estate has been under the same ownership as Labegorce and Labegorce-Zede since 2006, but I do not believe the new owners were in charge of the viticultural management or winemaking in this vintage (the other two estates produced far superior wines in this vintage). This is a low-keyed, pleasant, restrained, essentially one-dimensional, slightly diluted Margaux of little interest, unless you are a masochist.
